Made a safe journey home late last night. Unfortunately, my luggage did not. The dirty laundry is going to be very ripe when (...if) it arrives. On the plus side, it made the customs process a breeze.

Last night, I realized just how much I have missed my pillowtop bed. Still feeling drained but hoping to go for a nice relaxing run today. After sitting idle so long, any activity will be good. I have gained a substantial amount of weight because I have to try everything (even when not hungry). Peachtree Road Race is coming up soon and I am very not ready to race right now!

Hackker - I would not be brave enough to eat that cheeseburger. Ain't gonna be pretty if that thing revisits you!

Morning gang. Had a great 9 this morning. Threatened to rain but only got a few drops. Kept it nice and slow, something I'm trying to focus on this cycle. Still feeling the foot a little bit. Didn't get to kayak this time, too much weather to deal with.

DW got me an original copy of The Complete Book of Running by Jim Fixx. I spied it at a local book store.

DRBART - glad you are back safely. hopefully they luggage will arrive soon. can't wait to see the pictures.

Morning all! Happy father's day to all the RW dads. Quick fly by today, gotta head out to the zoo with the kiddos. 20 miles this morning which wasn't all that fun after yesterday's 30. Last 3 pretty much just sucked!

Buen Camino from Las Herrerias de Calcarce A very small town but a nice place to stay before a tough 32km backpack walk tomorrow. Hopefully I can get to a computer to catch up soon. I have trouble typing on the phone. I have a link to some photos. Hope the link works.https://www.dropbox.com/sc/kjmu4h2jvci1rrr/jH3aZ_5iK_Comments for photos:
